Michael, I am one of the renters just around the corner from you and spoke to you and another neighbor this morning from inside our rental car. I was surprised to turn on the video tonight and see your smiling face! We are from Colorado too. It was great to meet you today and I hope things work out for you. You're a genuinely nice guy!

He's involved in so much... and I am sure that's the way to find out where your real interests lie. Good for him! I always enjoy hearing from positive people who are stepping out to make the most of their lives if they are able to! I'll be interested to see what he does to his already beautiful home!

Found myself grinning from ear to ear listening to Michael recount how he felt when he first saw The Villages in person and all the activities he's engaged in! Just like him, I did 2 lifestyles also and it also was 5 years from the first time I came until I bought my home which is 1297 sq. ft. and I have a cat! I'm sure in no time Michael will get a lot of contacts and invites! Welcome to The Villages Michael and welcome to the rest of your Fun and Happy Life! ❤

Michael is a natural in front of the camera. That's such a shame about all the houses being sold to investor landlords. It completely changes the complexion of the street. TBH, if I were him, I'd limit the home upgrades for now and start looking for a different home but on a street with full-time residents. He's in a better position to look around with less time pressure now.
@dogcrazy25 Жыл бұрын
Yes but it's expensive to buy and sell a house around 60k easy. Who's to say his next neighborhood won't turn into renters. I'm surprised TV allowed so many rentals in one location. Some of his upgrades could enhance his ability for a better sale.
@emmylou-y4b Жыл бұрын
We don't live in The Villages but I've been watching several channels over the last few years and not all renters take care of the property. Michael is making costly improvements and should have neighbors who are at least part time resident like "snowbirds." The developers (or whoever) should block out specific streets and make them all rentals/air B&Bs and not sell them to residents without telling them the situation.

Hi Jim - I love the Durham model - and that was my first choice, but never “won” the lottery on that model here in Richmond. But, I am very happy with the Topaz - extra large garage and super large walk-in master bedroom closet. One downside for some, would be no dedicated place for a large dining room table, but being single, I’m ok with that - and will be purchasing an outdoor dining table once my birdcage is built.

Super nice man. Friendly and honest. Great interview. Renters are not optimal. My parents had renters for decades. They are also nice people too. Renters as great as they are don’t own the property and just don’t have the same intensity as owners about the property. I think what would be worse than being a renter is to live near the highway or turnpike. I would not want to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to live near traffic all day long and all night long. Bottom line: as all the people in the program said do a lifestyle visit and know what you are getting into.

Hi Kristine - I know you will enjoy your lifestyle visit. The Topaz was not my first (or even second or third choice) when I was looking at homes - but it kinda came down to Topaz or nothing in my quest to secure a home in the northern part of Richmond within my budget range. I am extremely happy though with the Topaz - large two car garage with many other patio villas don’t have (room for car, golf cart and storage shelves, without having to angle your golf cart into garage) - the master bedroom closet is enormous, almost another room. The downside for some, would be there is no real dedicated place to place a dining room table in the Topaz model. Plenty of room though for counter stools at the island kitchen, and you could place a small dining table with a drop down leaf against the wall in the living area. This is not an issue for me, and now that I am building a birdcage, I plan to put a dining table out in the expanded lanai area to entertain. If you have any questions about the Topaz model, please feel free to reach out to me.

@@MichaelofTheVillages Hi Michael! Thanks so much for the kind response. There are so many plans to choose from, but sadly it seems the entire world population wants to live in TV! Not many home's available these days. My top pick is a courtyard villa as I have two rambunctious rescue pups who love to play ball, just not with other pups sadly. No dog parks for us. Like you, we think we could make anything work, it's nice to have more room, but honestly we don't want to sweat a high mortgage and worry about fees. We are coming for the lifestyle, make some friends and most importantly remember how to have fun and laugh. We wish you the best moving forward with your adventures and birdcage. Lol funny how that birdcage will have a kitty lounging inside. Maybe we will cross paths when we visit the end of June. Be well and enjoy your new lifestyle and home!

Ty so much for ur videos!!! ❤Any update on the latest status of any restrictions on rentals? We r not yet retired - have an Air BNB that started next to our current house and it is a real drag on the neighborhood! And that is only one house! At least so far it has not been noisy. LOL This is the first real downside for us in coming to The Villages.

Excellent video, if Michael does put his name out there and has a drive way party, he might have to close down his street 😂, cuz he’ll get villagers from all neighborhoods 👍
